jim acosta has more. jim, how big a deal is this? this is for small employers, less than 50 employees, right? >> that's right, and the administration revealed this mishap just as the president was about to pardon the thanksgiving day turkey, so republicans pounced on that, accused the white house of trying to dump bad news right before the holiday. just to walk you through some of this, officials over at health and human services earlier today, what they basically said was these small companies are not going to be able to use the online enrollment feature for healthcare.gov for a year. that's because they're still building that portion of the site. what that means is the companies are going to have to buy the coverage for their employees offline through the insurers directly or through agents. they hoped to get this portion of healthcare.gov working this month. that is now not going to happen. officials caution that businesses with fewer than 50 employees aren't required to punchs this. it just makes it available. john boehner seized

thanks very much, jim sciutto in geneva. let's bring in the president's deputy national security advisor joining us from the white house. tony, thanks very much for coming in. >> thanks for having me. >> now that the agreement was signed early sunday morning, geneva time, when will the sanctions actually start being lifted, those sanctions that are going to be lifted for the iranians? >> first of all, what's important to understand with regard to sanctions is throughout the six-month period, all of the core sanctions stay in place and indeed, continue to be implemented. the oil sanctions, the banking sanctions, the pressure on iran will actually continue to grow. they will get some modest and very controlled relief that will be doled out over the six months to make sure they are making good on their commitments and that process will start probably sometime around the new year. >> $7 billion they will get over the next six months, they will begin to feel some of the benefits early, early in the new year, not in december. >> o

thanks very much, jim acosta. even with all the problems plaguing obama care, if they are eventually solved, there is still some research out there suggesting that having health insurance alone won't make americans healthier and in fact, in some cases, could do the opposite. let's bring in our chief medical correspondent, dr. sanjay gupta, who wrote a very provocative article on our website today, cnn.com. sanjay, you say the real question with obama care is will it make us healthier and you're a little skeptical. explain what's going on. >> well, first, i think that should be the goal overarching this. if you look back on this period in our history 100 years from now and people say did the actions at this time make america a healthier place. i don't think there's evidence of that. now, i will preface by saying i think insurance is a very important thing. it's a good thing and i think access to that insurance which has been driving a lot of what we have been talking about is obviously very important. but there's n
